Right now it's 4:07... Anyway, just to cheer me and all others up at this so wonderful exam time of the year, let's hear all those horrific exam stories. Surely there must be some nail biters out there that will bring a chuckel to our day. So let's hear em'!

A very sick Ivey

and possibably delusional Ivey...

I once had an early morning differential equations final. I had been sick for the past few days already. I basically had been in bed for the past few days and just got up for the final. It was cold outside and snowing. To top it off, my nose started bleeding just before I left. It proceeded to bleed on and off throughout the final. Needless to say, I didn't do as well as I had hoped in Differential Equations.

Ugh! Chemistry exam sophomore year. Though I'm in highschool, our school has open campus, so we can go wherever we wish between finals and off campus. Purdue being right there is rather convenient. So I went and played DDR over lunch, having given up on studying. Lo and behold, in some stupid Genia fashion, I managed to get a nasty sprain and thus ended up limping back to my final and took it in sheer agony. But I got my B!

Sorry to hear your exam isn't in good circumstances Mr. Ivey.

OK once during a physics exam I sat at this one desk with doodles and numbers drawn all over it, and a whole lot of other things you wouldn't imagine. Bad move, because as soon as my teacher handed over the test she hovered over me, glanced at my desk and saw all the equations we needed to know to take the test, which I hadn't noticed until she mentioned it. And then, obviously, she jumped to the conclusion that I had written them on the desktop...and accused me of cheating!!! Right in front of everyone!!! It was so unfair, because I hadn't even seen the equations written on the desk. I was absolutely horrified, and a bit embarrassed, even though I was completely innocent...I guess it's because I always did like her, and ever since then she lost her trust in me. At least she didn't give me a zero...but she hasn't spoken to me since
